Recipe of the Week: Monkeyman’s Dirty Rice

The following Dirty Rice recipe is from SurvivalBlog reader “Monkeyman”.  He notes that he often makes this doubled recipe.

Ingredients
  • 2 cups brown rice – you can use white rice, just reduce the liquid to exactly 4 cups
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • One 14-oz. can of coconut milk, I add a little water to rinse out the can and add it
  • Lard, Olive Oil, butter, or your grease of choice
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 pounds pork sausage
  • Dried Home Grown Sage, to taste
Directions
  1. Add rice, broth, coconut milk to large pot and bring to a full rolling boil.
  2. Turn heat down to low, cover and let simmer until all liquid is gone and rice is tender. (This is basic rice making; either brown or white)
  3. In a large skillet add garlic, onions and fry in oil. I add the Sage as the garlic and onions turn translucent and mix it up.
  4. Add the sausage and cook and chop it all up until it is fully cooked and resembles ground beef.
  5. When the rice is done, add it to the sausage and mix well combining all the ingredients together. Note: Sometimes the sausage is extra greasy; I dump the whole thing into a large metal colander and let it drain into the skillet with no heat.
SERVING

Some family members add salt to their own servings, to taste.
